摘要:
A method for automatically monitoring consciousness of a person and triggering an alarm if the monitored person is not in a state of full consciousness is provided. The method comprises the steps: monitoring at least one aspect of the behavior of the person (S1); analyzing whether the monitored behavior of the person corresponds to an expected behavior for a state of full consciousness or not (S2, S2′); triggering an alarm if the analysis results in that the detected behavior does not correspond to the expected behavior (S3).

There is provided a fall detector for use in detecting falls by a user, the fall detector comprising an accelerometer for producing a time series of measurement samples representing the acceleration acting on the fall detector; a processor for estimating a vertical velocity and/or vertical displacement of the fall detector from the measurement samples and using the estimated vertical velocity and/or vertical displacement to determine whether the user has suffered a fall; wherein the processor is configured to estimate a vertical velocity and/or vertical displacement of the fall detector from the measurement samples by estimating a corresponding time series of unit vectors representing acceleration due to gravity in the reference frame of the accelerometer from the time series of measurement samples; projecting each measurement sample onto the corresponding unit vector and subtracting acceleration due to gravity to give a series of estimates for the vertical acceleration of the fall detector; and integrating the series of estimates for the vertical acceleration over a time period to give a time series of values for the vertical velocity and/or vertical displacement of the fall detector.

Detection means for detecting information in a signal, comprising integration means for integrating the signal over time such that the integration means is periodically reset at about the start time reference of a periodic time interval; and a sample&hold circuit for periodically sampling and holding the integrated signal (int) at about an end time reference of the periodic time interval and thereby delivering a further signal (fs). The detection means further comprises a chain (CHDL) of signal time delay elements, an input of the chain (CHDL) being coupled to receive the further signal (fs); and combining means (CBMNS) having combining inputs coupled to signal taps of the chain (CHDL), such that the number of the combining inputs and the position of coupling the combining inputs to the signal taps of the chain (CHDL) correspond to the information in the signal.

A fall detector includes an accelerometer for producing a time series of measurement samples representing the acceleration acting on the fall detector; a processor for estimating a vertical velocity and/or displacement of the fall detector from the measurement samples and using the estimated vertical velocity and/or displacement to determine whether the user has suffered a fall. The processor is configured to estimate a vertical velocity and/or displacement of the fall detector by estimating a corresponding time series of unit vectors representing acceleration due to gravity in the reference frame of the accelerometer from the time series of measurement samples; projecting each measurement sample onto the corresponding unit vector and subtracting acceleration due to gravity to give a series of estimates for the vertical acceleration of the fall detector; and integrating the series of estimates to give a time series of values for the vertical velocity and/or displacement of the fall detector.

Coded light has been proposed to enable advanced control of light sources and transmit information using light sources. Sequences of channel symbols to drive the light source are determined from sequences of source symbols such that no visible flicker is present in coded light emitted by the light sources. Each source symbol is mapped to a composite channel symbol comprising at least one first channel symbol which may be identical to the current source symbol and at least one second channel symbol which may be a function of the current source symbol and at least one future and/or past source symbol.

A method for detecting a fall by a user includes a method of detecting a fall by a user. The method includes processing measurements obtained from one or more sensors to extract a respective value for a plurality of features associated with a fall. A respective log likelihood ratio for each of the values is determined. Whether the user has fallen is determined based on the determined log likelihood ratios.

In a lithographic apparatus, a feedforward transfer function of a control system is determined by: a) iteratively learning a feedforward output signal of the control system by iterative learning control for a given setpoint signal; b) determining a relation between the learned feedforward output signal and the setpoint signal; and c) applying the relation as the feedforward transfer function of the control system. A learned feedforward, which has been learned for one or more specific setpoint signals only, can be adapted to provide a setpoint signal dependent feedforward output signal. The learned feedforward can be made more robust against setpoint variations.

A record carrier has a servo track (4) indicating an information track (9) intended for recording information blocks. The servo track (4) has a periodic variation of a physical parameter at a predetermined frequency and modulated parts for encoding position information at regular intervals. The modulated parts start with a bit sync element and are of a data type having a data bit element or of a word sync type having a word sync element. The bit sync element, word sync element and the data bit element being modulated according to a same predetermined type of modulation of the periodic variation. All distances between two adjacent of the elements constituting the modulated parts are unique.

A method of selecting a generator matrix (G) for encoding information words (m) including information symbols (m1, m2, mk) into codewords (c) of a code (C) provides an enhanced error correction capability if at least one information symbol (m1, m2, m3) is known a priori to a decoder decoding received, possibly mutilated codewords (r). In order to design a code of which the correction power is enhanced if some information symbols are known to the decoder prior to decoding, the generator matrix (G) is selected such that the minimum Hamming distance of at least one subcode (C′) of the code (C) is larger than the minimum Hamming distance of the code (C), and that a subcode generator matrix (G′) of the at least one subcode (C′) is derived from the generator matrix (G) of the code (C) by omitting the at least one row from the generator matrix (G) corresponding to the at least one a priori known information symbol (m1, m2, m3).
